  1. That would be a clay marble along with the rest in that row.
  2. A picture showing the variety of Ceramic marbles i've collected over 30 years. Largest is 1 & 11/16".
  3. Here are a few that exhibit the 3 dots from stilts. Most just show a little bit of a flat spot from sitting along with debris picked up during firing. The large Blue and Fancy benningtons show the best. Their size is 1 & 9/16" and 1 & 3/8". I did not find any smaller ones with the 3 dots so I must assume they were just laid in piles in the ovens. I have no information on their history but have enjoyed reading the history revealed in this thread. None of the unglazed chinas I have show any of these characteristics.
  4. Yes you do Greg but I think you would have to wait until my son inherits them before they " may" become available.
  5. The blue is 1 & 5/8" but I believe it is a newer slag and the Vaseline slag is 1 & 3/8".
  6. A new group to me measuring in at 29/32", not mint but still makes an impressive display.
  7. My last statement on this subject. I do not study marbles, I collect as a hobby for the beauty and appeal/artistry of marbles and when I find/buy things that I do not want I will flip them. My reputation I believe is for finding and selling good to great marbles at reasonable prices. I do not do this as a business but rather to reinvest this money on more marbles and unless it has sentimental value to me my mark up is minimal. No one has ever approached me at a marble show and started a discussion on CAC's or any other marble for that matter and I do avoid the boards. I enjoy the social aspect of a marble show/marble hobby and nothing more.
